iis 7 - How do I create websites on remote servers using appcmd?

Question

I have used appcmd to create websites on my local computer. There doesn't appear to be a server parameter which means that i have to remote desktop on to each machine that i'm deploying to and run the appcmd command.

Also, can i use appcmd to deploy to IIS 6.0? If not, how do i deploy to remote IIS 6.0 web servers? I've tried the iisweb.vbs but i can't get it to run on my windows 7 computer because it can#t find the Microsoft.cmdlib. I have tired registering this file but it doesn't make a difference.

Answer 1

Using psexec.exe from sysinternals has worked for me to run appcmd on the IIS7 host from my administration host.
